Like ticks, their area is becoming larger and larger as the global temperatures increase. In Canada we went from having almost no ticks in the 90s not even really a worry, to now having to do regular tick checks if you even so much as go into the brush for five minutes
My friends kid (Ontario) just had 15 ticks on him after playing outside one night!
Yep. Becoming a big problem, especially black legged ticks.
I’m not sure how well it would work where you’re at, but the first year we moved to our current house, we had ticks pretty much every other time we went outside. There is a pretty heavy local deer population. I put out a bunch of tick tubes and mow regularly, and I tend to not get ticks anymore.
You’re welcome! It works by treating mice, chipmunks, and other small rodents while the ticks are in their nymph stage, so if you have any known small rodent areas, putting the tubes there should be good. We have a tree stump and a bit of brush in our back yard, and they tend to tear through those tubes first.
They also like to cross our driveway, so I put some in the ground cover on either side.
The only tick I ever had in my life I got in Ontario in 95, me and my brother were absolutely covered in them
Man the ticks are getting out of control in parts of Wyoming. There's spots I won't go anymore with my dog because they're so bad. You'll see moose calves and even the adults completely covered in them sometimes.
